Emailed Payslips - Technical Notes

SMTP Port

  • The port setting is best left blank, in which case the default smtp port is used. This works well for over 95% of clients.
  • The port setting was introduced in 3.27G after a client could send external emails, but when being sent to addresses on the client's own domain ( employee@client.co.nz ) Mail Marshall blocked the emails. It was resolved by setting the port to 97.

Invalid Recipient Address

  • Note the handling of emails being sent to an invalid email address differs depending on the sender's Internet Service Provider (ISP).
  • Paradise reports sending the email successfully, then bounces the email back to the sender.
  • Xtra does not send the email, and reports an error.
